Beth | 1568 comments Happy December, everyone! Hope your holiday preparations are going well. It never fails to amaze me how fast this month evaporates.

Great job with your accomplishments in this challenge! Many of you have far exceeded your original goals. And I see so many great books on your lists. Some I've read and greatly enjoyed; others I've added to my TBR.
